Abstract
A stack of 400μ Ilford G-5 nuclear emulsion surrounded by 5.5 cm of brass was flown at 85 000 feet for 10 hours at N. While scanning 409 of these emulsions the decay of seven particles and one meson have been observed. A hyperon produced in a star is seen to decay into an meson. For the decay scheme this event gives Mev. A heavy nuclear fragment () from an eight-prong star decays into , a proton, and a particle that is probably a deuteron. An event has been observed that could be interpreted as an example of the decay of a meson by the decay scheme .
